    This coming from a WNBA fan... gymnastics is the most physically/mentally demanding sport on the face of the earth.

    The triathlon is pretty physically and mentally demanding and it blows too but at least you know who won without waiting for a judge to post a score.

    He was crying because he was the only one of the alternates that didn't get to participate and the team won a bronze without him.

    Sasha did a great job on that last pommel horse routine. Now I just have to go back and watch the rest! Darn work getting in the way of my olympics watching!

    This is pretty much what happened... (don't read if you really want to watch it all)
    the rest of the team rocked it out all night with glimpses of Gold... led at the half way mark... were in the Silver spot... then had to have Sasha save bronze... because of a pommel horse blunder two routines to the last.
